Misunderstanding MSG

Did you know that there are 5 basic tastes? Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Salty and the Umami.

Among basic taste, umami was discovered in 1908 by Dr.Kikunaw Ikeda, he focused on the taste of Kombu Dashi(a kind of soup stock with kelp), and revealed that the component of taste is glutamate. He then named this taste as "umami". And one of the most common source of umami is Monosodium glutamate or commonly known as MSG.

Many people says that MSG is a harmful to be consumed by a human being because it leads to obesity and asthma.

But lately I researched about this concern and found out that MSG isn't that harmful.

Based on the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology(FASEB), affirmed the safety of MSG for the general population. They said that there is no evidence linking MSG to any serious or long-term health problems which makes MSG as a safe food ingredient at a normal consumed levels.

Based on these fact, MSG is not guilty about obesity and asthma. But it doesn't mean that you can take much of it. Remember that Much is always Bad...

Urine Facts

Here are some true things about Urine:

1. Urine is sterile and nearly odorless when it comes out of our body... The cause of its foul is just due to bacterial action...

2. Urine is potable... Actually its a good way of therapy...Urine contains a range of substances that vary with what is introduced into the body. Aside from water, urine contains an assortment of inorganic salts and organic compounds, including proteins, hormones, and a wide range of metabolites... So its safe to drink it if your in a middle of a dessert and if you experience thirst.

3. Urine as munition... Urine has been used in the manufacture of gunpowder. Urine, a nitrogen source, was used to moisten straw or other organic material, which was kept moist and allowed to rot for several months to over a year. The resulting salts were washed from the heap with water, which was evaporated to allow collection of crude saltpeter crystals, that were usually refined before being used in making gunpowder.

4. The word "urine" was first used in the 14th century. Before that, the concept was described by the now vulgar word "piss". Onomatopoetic in origins, "piss" was the primary means of describing urination, as "urinate" was at first used mostly in medical contexts. Likely, "piss" became vulgar through its use by lower class characters such as the reeve and the Wife of Bath in Geoffrey Chauser's 14th century work The Canterbury Tales. "Piss" and its association with vulgarity has led to its current classification as obscene, as well as its use in such colloquial expressions as "to piss off", "piss poor", and others.

Tips for Wasting some time...

Some people wanted to utilize their time to save it and not to waste it... But for some people(like me), that undergoes Boringness, we wanted to waste it so that we could make the time just pass by. So here is my advice:


1st: Counting the time

Count up to twenty seconds or more. I try this process whenever I wash my clothes or watch debates or just to wait somebody(like girlfriends).

2nd: Facebook!!!

You may not notice it, but every time you open your Farmville accounts or Mafia wars or Farmtown etc, you are just clicking the icons and wait for it... Therefore, you are just wasting your time...

3rd: Watch movies!!!

Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Avatar... These are just some of the longest movies I've ever watched... They're just time consuming...

4th: Be Nocturnal

Stay awake all night, play World of Warcraft or whatever and then sleep at daytime... In this way, You're day will be wasted.




I hope that you can now waste your time easily...
